A very warm welcome to my teeny, tiny part of the huge world of blogging. This is where I share my passion for making hand made greeting cards. So - why "Always with a Heart"? Well this is for two reasons. Firstly, it is because every card I produce carries a heart on it somewhere. This can be big and bold or small and almost hidden - the fun sometimes is just trying to find it! Secondly it is because I put my heart into everything I produce. I hope that any visitors enjoy seeing what I post. If you drop by then please leave me a comment so that I know you called. It would be nice to know that you have found my heart in what I do.

Ooh that's very different for you... love the stepper element to showcase the "Joy" sentiment and trio of trees which gives great depth. Cheeky little heart today ;) x

A great start to your Christmas card collection of this year - guessed it was Sizzix as soon as I saw it. They always seem to come up trumps with their tempting products

A stunning card! Side step cards are one of my favorite folds to do. I promised myself that I would not do what I did last year and waited too long to make Christmas cards... My thought was that I would make at least One Christams card a week. Here it is 12 days into the new year, and I have not made one card yet. This is why I don't usually make New year's resolutions...but you have inspired me...to get started!
